My KJV Creative Bible Review

“The KJV version reference is subtly debossed in the bottom right corner of the front cover. A subtle frame on the spine breaks the no-decoration rule, as does the bold teal floral design printed on the page edges. An attached teal satin ribbon marker is included to save your place while a teal elastic band is added to ensure your Bible pages are securely closed.

“The teal hardcover journaling Bible is set in a single-column format with two-inch-wide ruled margins for note-taking, scribing your reflections, or creative expression. Nearly 400 hand-drawn line-art illustrations are placed throughout the Bible to serve as visual tools for meditating and reflecting on Scripture.

“Fill the journaling Bible with bold color and equally bold illustrations that declare your worship and adoration. The beautiful language of the Classic King James Version will inspire your heart to worship as you color your way through the Bible. Share the art of Bible journaling when you give the Teal Faux Leather Hardcover My Creative Bible as a Mother’s Day or birthday gift.

My Review:

I was gifted this Bible by one of my friends, but I had been interested in it for a while before that. I love the idea of having more room to take notes in my Bible, and the art is gorgeous too!

I use colored pencils in this, and they do not bleed through, though since the pages are thin I can see through to the color (if that makes sense?). I also use a normal pen to take notes (which does leave an imprint on the pages). There are many illustrations on the sides of pages as well as full-page illustrations. (These illustrations are designed to be colored, like an adult coloring book.)

In John, there is an illustration depicting Jesus hanging on the Cross. While the illustration may be partially accurate, I don’t see the need to have an illustration of anyone with almost no clothes on. Also, in a couple of the illustrations, there is a microphone, which depending on the use I am not always a fan of. If I had my choice, I would have excluded these things and also left the margins unlined, for ease of adding my own illustrations. (I’m not an artist, so I probably won’t do that much, but it might be a bigger deal to those who want to add their own art.) These would be the only issues I have with this Bible.

I love the design on the edges of the pages as well as the elastic loop to hold the Book shut when not in use! The art is beautiful, the note-taking space is wonderful, and I am very grateful to own My KJV Creative Bible!
